Method Details

login
Log in to this provider.The provider relies on a
CallbackHandlerto obtain authentication information from the caller (a PIN, for example). If the caller passes anullhandler to this method, the provider uses the handler set in thesetCallbackHandlermethod. If no handler was set in that method, the provider queries the auth.login.defaultCallbackHandler security property for the fully qualified class name of a default handler implementation. If the security property is not set, the provider is assumed to have alternative means for obtaining authentication information.- Parameters:
subject- theSubjectwhich may contain principals/credentials used for authentication, or may be populated with additional principals/credentials after successful authentication has completed. This parameter may benull.handler- theCallbackHandlerused by this provider to obtain authentication information from the caller, which may benull- Throws:
IllegalStateException- if the provider requires configuration andProvider.configure(java.lang.String)has not been calledLoginException- if the login operation fails
-
logout
Log out from this provider.- Throws:
IllegalStateException- if the provider requires configuration andProvider.configure(java.lang.String)has not been calledLoginException- if the logout operation fails
-
setCallbackHandler
Set aCallbackHandler.The provider uses this handler if one is not passed to the
loginmethod. The provider also uses this handler if it invokesloginon behalf of callers. In either case if a handler is not set via this method, the provider queries the auth.login.defaultCallbackHandler security property for the fully qualified class name of a default handler implementation. If the security property is not set, the provider is assumed to have alternative means for obtaining authentication information.- Parameters:
handler- aCallbackHandlerfor obtaining authentication information, which may benull- Throws:
IllegalStateException- if the provider requires configuration andProvider.configure(java.lang.String)has not been called
